Installing Tiki Automatically
Fantastico is a cPanel (control panel) application that your web host may make available for you. This provides a graphical user interface that simplifies installation. With Fantastico, Tiki installation is a snap!
Note
Your web host may (or may not) have the latest version of Tiki available from Fantastico. It is important to keep your Tiki up-to-date. The community is continually making improvements to features and security.
So even if you use Fantastico, it is a good idea to review the Manual Installation steps.
In addition to Fantastico, Tiki is also included in many other cPanel installers, such as SimpleScripts, JumpBox, and more. Check with your hosting provider for details. Although this document illustrates installing with Fantastico, the other process for other installers is similar.
- Log into your web host's cPanel. Your cPanel URL is probably similar to: http://www.yourdomain.com/cpanel.
- Click the Fantastico File not found.icon.
- The Fantastico Home lists the available application on your web host.

- Click New Installation.

- Enter the following information in each field on the page:
- Install on Domain: Select the domain (if you have multiple domains with this web host) in which to install TikiWiki.
- Install in Directory: Select a sub-directory (of the domain) in which to install Tiki
Note
You can place the files in any directory on your web host, but the directory name will become part of the URL. For example, if you create a directory on your web host named tikiwiki and copy the files to it, your URL will be:
http://www.yourdomain.com/tikiwiki/... .
If you are going to use Tiki to power everything on your site, you can simply copy all the files to your root directory and leave the Directory field blank. - Click Install TikiWiki.
File not found.
- Click Finish Installation. The cPanel installs Tiki.
File not found.
You're done. You can log out of the cPanel and access your Tiki at the URL indicated in the final installation screen.
